(excerpt)

\"Please. Help me, please. I want to do this, and I need help. I will tell you everything. Please just help me.\" I begged and pleaded with him. I watched him weigh his options on his face and massively scary stature. Jostling his shoulders back and forth, with his brows pinched and eyes pinned to mine, he released a grunt before he spoke.

\"If I agree to this then it's by my rules. I have not built my empire for a little girl to come and tear it down playing drug princess. And you will tell me everything with full transparency. I don't care how horrific. I need to know everything, always. We have to trust each other.\" Cole leans in and I can feel his mixed emotions radiating from him. Concern, anger, and sadness ooze from his face as he searches my expression for confirmation I'm not my father's daughter.

\"Of Course. Your way. Promise. \" I say, putting my trust in Cole Salvrano.
